Are you a silly newb or something? MicroATX? wtf

[MyndFyre]

There's nothing too terribly wrong with MicroATX if you're in the budget price range, since a budget price range person won't be upgrading too terribly much anyway.

That's horrible, PCI slots..no PCI-X ?

[Joe]

If PCI cards are still coming out, why get PCI-X? If I can get this computer for $200, I'll be able to buy a new computer every six months without even thinking twice.

@Hitmen: When more money comes in I'm looking into a Pentium 4. Unfortunately, I don't know how much money I have to spend, because I haven't sold my old mac yet.

Withought PCI-X you're stuck with low end cards. AGP 8x is even becoming old.
DirectX 10 is on the horizon and bet your ass they wont be for AGP.

- Interface: Socket 775
- Speed: 2,500 ~ 3,400 RPM +/-10%

I personally say spend the extra money and get at least 4,000 RPM to make sure your comp dosent lock up on you in the middle of grinding quest while you have Winamp open playing your WMP
